This coming Thursday, March 3rd, we'll be performing a new big band arrangement at Zinc Bar. It's an arragement that I did of a very famous song that you have all heard but I'm not giving away the surprise!...all I will say is that it's in english and that it's a beautiful tune.
Here's a video of me recording a demo version of the song so that my musicians could learn it before rehearsal. Enjoy!
It's been a while since I'm so fascinated by an artist and their music. I'm refering to Jorge Drexler and his latest album "Amar La Trama". The lyrics, the original sound, the honesty, the horn arrangements, the recording, the mix, the subtleties and nuances...everything is so perfectly orginal and beautiful. It is the kind of artist that might not impress you at the beginning and then the more you listen to it the better it gets, the more you learn and the more you admire him. Check out his webpage: www.jorgedrexler.com
I want to share with you the trailer to one of the most espectacular movies I have ever seen and certantly the one with the most beautiful cinematopraphy in my opinion. It is called "The Wind Journeys" ("Los Viajes Del Viento") and I had mentioned before but I found out that its is now on Netflix so everybody can see it! Their webpage is ww.losviajesdelviento.net and here is the trailer. Enjoy and PLEASE SHARE:
Un excelente discurso sobre la mentalidad de los Colombianos. Positivo sin de dejar de ser objetivo y con una perfecta dosis de humor. Porfavor compartanlo:
Many of you shared my enthusiasm a few months ago Colombian icon Carlos Vives invited me on stage to perform with him and with the accordion idol Egidio Cuadrado. Well I was recently given permission to post the video online, so here it is! It was very touching to see how many of you were as exited as me about this unique moment...Thank you!!
Gregorio Uribe Big Band's bass player, Andres Rotmistrovky (http://www.myspace.com/andresrotsessionmusician), will be performing this Friday February 18th with superstars Miguel Bose, Concha Buika and La Mala Rodriguez!!! This is not the first time he has performed with artists of this level (Joan Baez, Leon Gieco and more) but I want to congratulate him from the bottom of my heart and wish he keeps reaching so many goals. It is thanks to his amazing talent, discipline and great spirit that he has gotten himself to this level...you deserve it my friend and it's a honor to have you in the band!
